fur tbe CHILDREN.
The Nut-Tree Babies.


The nut-tree babies, young and small,
Lay In green cradles, satin.lined;
Rocked lightly by the summer wind;
No bough did break no cradle fall
The nut-tree babies, one and ALL
Slept In their cradles peacefully,
While wOod-doves crooned q lullaby.
One autumn day the nuts awoke,
The yellow leaves we're strewn about,
And mischievous Jack Frost was out
And played those babies such jokel
Their cradles with touch he broke
And the brown nut-tree babies fell,
One with another, all pell.mell.
But with the coming of the spring,
When all the earth is green again
With April sun and April rain,
We shall behold a curious thing;
A crowd of saplings in ring
Where every nut fell down will be
tiny little sprouting tree,
Some day the saplings will be grown,
And on their branches will be seen
Hundreds of cradles soft and green
Amid the leaves that make their crown,
For nut-tree babies of their own,
And winds will rock them low and high
And wood-doves Groom lullaby.

The charge seemed to be of about sufficient
strength to do the work nicely. A gentle
man who saw the work states that the job is
good one and could be done only by an ex-

fellow doing the work will start another

1t will be remember ed that sometime ago
the citizens in the north east part of the
city made arrangements with the board Of
education for having school during the
greater part OF this school year in their
neighborhood. The people were to FUR ish
the building suited for the purpose and the
board OF education appoint the teachers.
As result of that agreement the new Con-
gregational church building in that neighbor

FINANCIAL BUSINESS.

Concerning the banking interests of Wich-
ita and southwestern Kansas Mr. e. A.
Walker of the Fourth National Bank said
yesterday: 1--WE can make it advantageous
to all ba ks within one hundred miles of thus
city to do their banking here. Negotiations
are now being made by which currency can
be shipped to and from Wichita at reduced
rate. This will greatly help in eeping finan-
cial business Of Kansas in Kansas and away
from that Missouri town commonly known
as Kansas City. 1t surely is to the interest
of Kansas to build up coed banking town
instead of sending money out of the state u
AS result or partial
are coming here for clearings. The aggre-
gate capital stock OF the banks of Wichita
are now such that country banks can be &C
commodated. With the opening of the
stock yards it will more than ever be to the
interest of all banks in the southwest to open
accounts at Wichita. The citizens bank will
have connections with the stock yards in such
a way that payments for all shipments of
cattle here can be deposited in this bank |
pres ume all banks Of the city will make the
same arrangements. One of the leading
things TO develop financial bust
ness in Wichita is the stock yards.
1t calls for an exchange of money between
the business men of the southwest. There
are quite number of other enterprises now
in operation and more coming that call for a
concentration of banking interests here"
In conversation with Mr.. G. c.. Strong, of
the Fourth National, on the subject, he said
at is to the interest of this state to have
banking center. Kansas City has grown rich
off the money of Kansas. 1t would help tie
whole state to have some town to handle the
money of the state. If banks in the south
west would do their banking at Wichita it
would make money easier in the whole
southwest. We must have banking center
as well as commercial and manufacturing
center. We have already taken steps that
will help bring this about and further nego-
tiations are pending"
